NFL 2017

I think it will revert back to the norm soon. A lot of the challengers are suffering a number of significant injuries.
49ers lost a close one. Again. Now 0-5.

Shanahan's tankapalooza strategy working perfectly
-
@canefan It's us versus the NY Giants. Who's the number one QB in the 2018 draft? Jay Rosen?
-
@sneakdefreak Josh Rosen UCLA and Sam Darnold USC depending on who enters the draft/stays in school. Those in the know reckon Rosen is a perfect fit for Shanahan's offense as a traditional QB ala Matt Ryan whereas Darnold is more or a gunslinger type.
-
If the giants are near the top of the draft then I think they're much more likely to declare than when it was looking like being the jets and the Browns at 1 and 2.
All the prospects have been struggling though so the tanking teams are probably a little worried at the moment. Could put a lot of heat into the veteran market - Brees and Cousins both free agents and Chiefs might look to trade Smith if they really like Mahomes.
-
@cyclops Kirk Cousins will sign with San Francisco if the 49ers think the QB draft class isn't impressive. Drew Brees will probably stay in New Orleans although a team like Minnesota would be attractive in 2018.
Alex Smith to Arizona or Minnesota would fit him. He just needs a team with a running game and defence. -
Minnesota will be looking for a QB in 2018 because Sam Bradford sucks right now.
-
Some big NFL news in past couple of days:
- Adrian Petersen is traded from New Orleans to Arizona. Arizona currently has the worst running game in the league.
- Ezekiel Elliott is suspended for six games after a court allowed the NFL to follow through with the suspension.
- The 49ers have released linebacker Navorro Bowman after eight years with the team. Bowman was one of the best defenders on the 49ers squad but had lost gametime to younger players.
-
Aaron Rodgers is done for the season with broken collarbone. All my fantasy football teams have just ended their season.
-
Another close loss for the 49ers but some very good signs from their rookies - they finally bit the bullet and put in their rookie QB Beathard when they were down 17 - 0 and he played well in his first NFL action - nearly bringing the 49ers back to victory. Beathard is now the starter so has a 10 game audition to see if he is the QB of the future for the Niners.
Also Solomon Thomas had a breakout game today. 9 tackles (2 for a loss) and a sack.
-
@kiwimurph Bout time they went to Beathard, Hoyer was struggling. They won't finish 0-16 but will be lucky to make it 2-14.

All these honourable draws are great. The young guys get slowly better and we finish in bottom spot!!
-
@canefan So do we draft a QB or just sign Cousins? Cousins won't sign if we take Rosen or the USC QB. Unless Beathard takes us on a 10 game winning streak I doubt he will be the guy.

Difficult choice eh? Cousins is good but I'm not sure he is the QB you build your franchise around for 10 years
-
@canefan @Sneakdefreak I'd save the $ and roll with Beathard or a draft pick if Beathard isn't the guy.
Cousins is going to take a ton of $ which could be better spent on other players. Plus I don't think he leaves Washington anyway.
QBs on rookie contracts allows you more money to spend on others. This is how the Seahawks did it with Russel Wilson.
Let's wait and see what Beathard does in the next 10 games. Ideally he'll be the guy so the 49ers can focus on other areas in next years draft and even trade down for a ransom of picks to other teams desperate for a QB.
